EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the rich railway history of Yorkshire, England. The image features British Railways Class 9F 2-10-1 locomotive, numbered 92220, proudly named "Evening Star," as it chugs its way along the picturesque Keighley Worth Valley Railway near Bradford. The 1960s setting is palpable, with the steam train's billowing smoke contrasting against the crisp autumnal foliage and the vibrant red and orange hues of the leaves. The Class 9F locomotives, introduced in 1957, were the last steam engines built for British Railways. They were designed to be powerful and versatile, capable of hauling heavy freight trains over long distances. The "Evening Star," with its distinctive star insignia, was one of these mighty engines, and its presence on the Keighley Worth Valley Railway adds to the line's reputation as a preserved railway that celebrates the golden age of steam. The Keighley Worth Valley Railway, which runs from Keighley to Oxenhope, is a heritage railway that offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the romance and nostalgia of steam train travel. The line, which opened in 1867, was once a vital part of the industrial heartland of Yorkshire, transporting coal, limestone, and textiles from the local mines and mills. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who appreciate the historical significance of steam trains and the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of steam trains and the rich railway history of Yorkshire. It transports us back in time to an era when steam engines ruled the rails and the romance of train travel was at its height.
